TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Once the poster made it his/her business to get involved, even if only to
the extend of trying to find out what was going on, then she/he made
her/himself a party and liable for involvement.
However, if the poster had stayed out of it and intentionally avoided
knowing anything about it one way or the other, then no, the poster would
have been free from involvement.
My comment about friendship was only to the extent that the poster called
this person a friend and friends don't instigate knowing what the other
person is doing. Instigate, fine...but don't involve the term friendship
with it.

John, I generally have great respect for your opinions, but I must
disagree here.
As someone who has had to testify berore a Federal Grand Jury in one case,
and give depositions in a civil suit in another (both involving this
issue), I can tell you that it ain't about friendship or respect. It's all
about keeping your butt out of jail and not becoming a judgement debtor.
